Pasteur, Louis (1822-1895) French chemist and microbiologist responsible for some of the most important theoretical concepts and practical applications of modern science. Autograph Quotation Signed "L. Pasteur", on Institut Pasteur letterhead, 1p, in French, 6½ x 4", Paris, Dec. 27, 1892. Translated, the four-line quote says, "Science has no country but every scientist must have one and it is to her [his country] that he must acknowledge the influence that his work[s] can have on the world." Fine; the dateline is lighter than the quotation and signature. Matted with a portrait of Pasteur and framed to an overall size of 18½ x 19¼ in. The period frame has numerous nicks around the edges; it has a COA with a red wax seal from the late autograph dealer Charles Hamilton on the verso.
